This article lists the top positional need(s) for each NFC team as it relates to fantasy football in 2026.

  • Arizona Cardinals
    • Quarterback
      • Kyler Murray is on his way out of Arizona and while Jacoby Brissett stood in valiantly last season, the Cardinals aren’t winning games. We care about fantasy points – Brissett gave us those. ARI cares about wins – neither of these guys have produced.
      • Possible fit: Malik Willis
    • Atlanta Falcons
      • Wide Receiver
        • They need security at quarterback as well, but weapons alongside Drake London are necessary for whomever plays quarterback. Kyle Pitts is also a free agent opening another spot. 
        • Possible fit: Rashid Shaheed, Wan’dale Robinson, Alec Pierce
      • Carolina Panthers
        • Tight End
          • The Panthers do not have a tight end on the roster right now. Three promising receivers, two solid running backs and Bryce Young who has shown flashes are a nice base. They need a pass catching tight end.  
          • Possible fit: Cade Otton
        • Chicago Bears
          • Running Back / Wide Receiver Depth
            • They have the pieces in place at all positions, but I could see both D’Andre Swift and DJ Moore leaving. They could use another RB and/or WR for depth.
            • Possible fits: Rachaad White, Michael Carter / Christian Kirk, Marquise Brown
          • Dallas Cowboys
            • Running Back Depth
              • I see George Pickens receiving the franchise tag and staying in Dallas with CeeDee Lamb. Javonte Williams inked a deal to be the starter, but we saw him slow his pace in the second half. DAL could use another back able to shoulder the load or change of pace.
              • Possible fits: Sean Tucker, Brian Robinson, Kimani Vidal
            • Detroit Lions
              • Wide Receiver…? 
                • The Lions are loaded. They just need to stay healthy. Another option at wideout could help diversify the pass game and add depth, but they’re good as is.
                • Possible fit: Keenan Allen
              • Green Bay Packers
                • Running Back and Tight End Depth
                  • Josh Jacobs, six wide receivers and Tucker Kraft (when healthy) are just fine. Packers need more bodies to cover injuries.
                  • Possible fits: Kimani Vidal, Isiah Pacheco / Tyler Higbee
                • Los Angeles Rams
                  • Wide Receiver Depth
                    • Puka Nacua is arguably the best receiver in the league. Davante Adams is an elite second option. They have two quality running backs and a few tight ends. Another wide out could only help Matthew Stafford.
                    • Possible fits: Marquise Brown, Alec Pierce. Rashid Shaheed
                  • Minnesota Vikings
                    • Quarterback and Running Back
                      • JJ McCarthy ain’t it… not yet at least. Aaron Jones is 31 and Jordan Mason will be 27. Both also tend to get injured. 
                      • Possible fits: Aaron Rodgers, Joe Flacco / Sean Tucker, Kimani Vidal
                    • New Orleans Saints
                      • Everything
                        • Tyler Shough is fun, but unproven. Alvin Kamara might be “done”. Chris Olave is amazing, but one concussion away from maybe being finished for his career. They need depth. 
                        • Possible fits: Russell Wilson / Sean Tucker, Kimani Vidal / Romeo Doubs, Wan’dale Robinson
                      • New York Giants
                        • Overall Depth
                          • Giants have an exciting young squad coming in and back from injury, but depth is necessary all around.
                          • Possible fits: Marcus Mariota / Najee Harris / Romeo Doubs, Keenan Allen, Marquise Brown
                        • Philadelphia Eagles
                          • Running Back and Wide Receiver Depth (maybe Right End)
                            • I expect AJ Brown to be traded. Saquon Barkley isn’t “Saquon” anymore. May need a tight end if Dallas Goedert leaves in free agency.
                            • Possible fits: Sean Tucker / Keenan Allen, Rashid Shaheed / Cade Otton
                          • San Francisco 49ers
                            • Wide Receiver
                              • Brandon Aiyuk is out. The receiving corps tends to suffer injuries throughout the season. More possession and field stretching bodies will help. 
                              • Possible fits: Alec Pierce, Deebo Samuel
                            • Seattle Seahawks
                              • Wide Receiver and Tight End
                                • I expect Kenneth Walker to receive the franchise tag remaining on the Seahawks. With Rashid Shaheed a free agent and AJ Barner fine, but not a definite stud, I’d like to see them take depth.
                                • Possible fits: Christian Kirk, Marquise Brown / Chig Okonkwo 
                              • Tampa Bay Buccaneers
                                • Running Back and Tight End Depth
                                  • The Bucs are stacked at wide receiver. Both Sean Tucker and Rachaad White are free agents. I could see one of them returning, but maybe not. Cade Otton is also a free agent. Let’s pretend they all leave Tampa.
                                  • Possible fits: Isiah Pacheco, Brian Robinson / Dallas Goedert, David Njoku
                                • Washington Commanders
